TIME is NOW

Recommendation to the
13th Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples

12-23 May 2014 UN Headquarters New York

Fundamental to the right of nationality, as members of
the Nations of Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala, the Great Turtle Island which
is referenced in article 6 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and evidenced unequivocally by the
Treaty Status, namely international personality which was subject of the UN Treaty Study
conducted by Miguel Alfonso Martinez, is the collective right of
nationhood of Indigenous Peoples beyond the contextual constraints of
the Westphalian system of sovereignty of states. It is a
collective right, similar to how the present UN system of mutual international
recognition as sovereign states provides the framework of jurisprudence for the
purported jurisdiction of the states individually and then collectively at the
global dimension under the dominion of the UN system, the jurisprudence which articulates the
nationhood of Indigenous Peoples is also is a projection of jurisdiction at the
planetary level, with mutual responsibilities towards the Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth, and the well being of the Future Generations. The distinction being that our Rights of Nationhood
emerge from the COGNITION, and then thus RECOGNITION, of our responsibilities
as ONE of the Nations (two legged species of kindom) – among ALL of the RELATIONS to whom and
with we share as human society collectively, the responsibility to act in complementarity within the equally shared environment of the Natural World. We are Nations of Mother Earth, and will not
consent to be diminished or to be dominated under the regime of the government
states of the UN system as mere ethnic groups, or minorities.

Comprehensively, therefore, in view of the UN High Level Plenary Meeting 2014
and in discussion on the special theme of the UN Permanent Forum on
Indigenous Issues 2014, the Permanent Forum must address the violations
of the Right of Self Determination and Full and
Equal Participation as Peoples, equal to all other peoples in the
conceptualization, the design, the implementation and evaluation of regional
trade agreements among the UN member states such as are evidenced by the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA, and the impending menace of the
Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP).

Final report by Miguel Alfonso Martínez, Special Rapporteur
22 June 1999*********************************************************************

We call for the restitution of the primary source
materials and testimony that was lent to the United Nations system as
fundamental to the evidence in document form of the systemic (system to system) nature of the legal relationships
between the Nations of Indigenous
Peoples and the member states of the UN system for the purpose of the Treaty Study conducted by Dr. Miguel Alfonso
Martinez of Cuba.

Such delivery, should be initial act of good faith in terms of the
continuing process of systemic documentation among the Nations of Indigenous
Peoples and the UN system prior to and as a necessary act of condition to allow for the full and effective participation
of the Indigenous Peoples in the High Level Plenary Meeting on an equal basis
and without systemic discrimination in
the process of producing the Final Outcome Document of the High Level Plenary Meeting
of the General Assembly 2014.

“We have reasons to believe that if the
world doesn’t do anything about mitigating the emissions of greenhouse gases
and the extent of climate change continues to increase, then the very social
stability of human systems could be at stake.”
